restoring chrome chassis
#1

Good Evening all,

I wonder if any of you have had experience of restoring a rusty chrome chassis - without totally stripping it? I see there a quite a few "chrome paints" around - especially in the USA rather than here in the UK - and while I doubt if they actually have the exact finish of chrome, they might well be near enough for a decent job. Getting the existing rusty chrome back to a half decent surface for the paint seems the most challenging part of the job, but I figure that if one removes as much as possible from the chassis to begin with, and goes gently it should be possible. Anyhow, the real point of my post is to ask if anyone has had experience in this area? Any advice much appreciated - as always. Regards, Jonathan
